The summer season is a great time to experiment with fun nail looks. Summer festivities invite opportunities for trying playful and whimsical nail designs that fit right in with the season’s lively spirit. Summer color palettes tend to be brighter and vibrant compared to other seasons. Pastel colors also carry over from spring. Some nail looks remain timeless no matter the season. We can expect to see a continuation of magnetic gel or cat eye gel nails, syrup gel nails, 3D floral nails, and nails with summer motifs. Try these timeless looks with a seasonal spin or try something new. Either way, if you’re looking for a bit of inspiration, here are five nail looks to try this summer:
Summer Glazed and Glass Nails
Some nail looks will always remain relevant. Glazed and glass nail looks continue to be highly searched nail looks and requested favorites among nail clients. Glazed nails, popularized by the “glazed donut nails” done on Hailey Bieber by @nailsbyzola, have a shimmery frosted finish while still allowing the underlying color to peek through. “Glass nails” have been used to refer to different nail looks with varying resemblance to glass, but the latest glass nails trend refers to nails with a highly reflective and glassy finish often over a magnetic gel color or light base color such as a syrup white or pink.
This summer, try opting for glazed or glass finishes over brighter colors and designs such as French tips or gradation designs like aura nails and ombre nails. DINO powders offer some of the most lustrous effects to achieve the highly sought glazed and glass nail looks. DINO Wedding White Powder offers a frosty finish over your choice of color and design for a glazed nail effect while DINO Pure Silver Powder can achieve a highly reflective and glassy finish.
If you or your nail client prefers a more minimalistic style, powder finishes for a glazed or glassy effect are a great way to keep it minimal yet captivating.
Magnetic Gels and Powder Combos
Create endless nail art combinations using magnetic gels and powders. Summer magnetic gel collections feature different color options and magnetic particles for on-trend and seasonal manicures. For a truly mesmerizing effect, layer a sheer powder with a highlight color over a magnetic gel of your choice. Powders like Jello Jello Edge Beam Powder in Mermaid or Glossy Pink offer an iridescent sheen that enhances both the base color and magnetic particles.
Try gradations with various base magnetic gel colors or layering two different jelly type magnetic gel colors such as gels from Jel and Gel Ice Star 2 Gel Collection for more compelling effects. Unlock new looks with different combinations of gel colors, magnetic design, and nail powder!
Fruit Inspired Nails
Guava nails and other fruit inspired magnetic gel nail art looks have been all over nail art lovers’ For You and Explore pages, making them the perfect new nail trend to try this summer. If you prefer a more stylized representation of fruits on nails, then the fruit magnetic gel trend is for you.
Jel and Gel Special Fruits Magnetic Collection contains three magnetic gel colors created to resemble Gold Kiwi, Peach, and Grape (also the name of the gel colors). These magnetic gels have a syrup color with reflective gold magnetic particles to evoke the appearance of the fruits that inspired their creation.
If you prefer a more maximalist style, add hand painted details and textures for a more literal representation of fruits. Either way, this trend is adaptable for both minimalists and maximalist art lovers.
Ink Art Nails
Nail inks are versatile and can be used for any nail style in any season. New summer ink collections contain playful colors that can be used to create beautiful summer nail art. MORE Art Liquid Gardening contains six vibrant colors suitable for creating organic shapes and summer-themed designs.
